Checkmate™

Experience the thrill of high-flying rocketry with the Checkmate model rocket! Featuring a unique, highly swept nested fin design, this rocket can easily reach 900 feet and comes in both single and 2-stage options.

An advanced build makes it a great choice for someone who is already familiar with common rocket building tasks. The Checkmate model rocket launches on mini engines (sold separately) and has streamer recovery for the rocket and tumble recovery for the booster. When you're ready to launch again, just prepare with a new Estes engine, wadding, a starter, and starter plug. To build the Checkmate model rocket, you'll need scissors, pencil, ruler, fine sandpaper, carpenter's glue, plastic cement, hobby knife, masking tape, clear coat, primer (white), paint (black, blue, yellow), and clear coat (optional).

Launch the Checkmate model rocket with the Estes Porta-Pad II Launch Pad and Electron Beam Launch Controller (sold separately) and get ready for an exciting and unforgettable experience!
